Description
The Master in Adult Education (Global) is a web-based, coursework-only professional masters degree that will benefit persons working in formal educational settings, business and industry, activist organisations, government, non-governmental organisations, health care, community and other settings, where various discourses about globalisation are changing the way lives are lived and learning and work are undertaken. This is a collaborative program involving University of British Columbia (Canada), Linkoping University (Sweden), University of the Western Cape (South Africa) and Monash University, Melbourne (Australia). Students will proceed through the program as a cohort.
